Woman calls police after witnessing four people beating a man

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- A woman called police when she saw a man being assaulted early this morning, possibly saving the man's life, police said.

Shortly before 1 a.m., a woman sitting in her car in the 3700 block of Governors Drive called police when she saw three men and a woman beating up another man, police said.

The woman told police the four people were kicking the man in the head and in the groin, so she called 911. Police said the four people responsible for the beating fled the scene before police arrived, but the injured man was transported to Huntsville Hospital with serious injuries.

The injured man didn't have identification on him, and there's no word on his condition at this time.
